Re: sprint wheels?

one would expect that the wheels would have been produced before the actual car production, ready to fit when the line started rolling. Having said that I have never spotted dates on any of mine.

Re: Limited slip differential half shafts.

Can anyone post me a pic of what an original painted LSD looks like?

I have one that is stamped up correctly and has the remnants of a red band around the axle tube (think LH side without looking?) and a red stripe on the rear cover.

would like to know how it should end up before I clean and re ...

Re: 1500/1850 seats...

1500HL and 1850HL seats are the same - as are the runners.

Square headlamp cars have slightly less plusher/narrower seats but I still think the runners are the same.

Cracking bargain you have spotted, these look like HL seats - you would easily get your money back if you bought them and wanted to ...

Re: Yep, "Rolon" is DEFINITELY rubbish.

Do we know for sure whether a larger or smaller oil hole is better? With a bit of web browsing I picked up the posting quoted below which would seem to imply that the "superior" Reynolds have the smaller hole.

"I do not agree with the above. I now have NOS tensioners in British Leyland boxes in ...

Re: Discolouring of the clear lacquer finish on Sprint alloy



The original clear lacquer finish did discolour very quickly in the strong sunlight

Agreed, the spare wheel that came with my Sprint is original and barely used (even down to the old Dunlop SP Aquajet tyre).
The (original) lacquer has faded to gold.

Re: fusebox upgrade

Discovered I can see the photos fine from home, must be the work network that blocks them out somehow.

TSSC used to be viewable by all, they must have changed :-(

Re: fusebox upgrade

Re: Magnecor HT Leads

that's a great price thanks very much, however it has occurred to me that I may need a longer coil to dizzy king lead as my coil is inner wing mounted rather than on the engine block. Am I correct to assume that this price is for a standard 280mm lead? If so would you be able to supply with a 400mm ...
